Abstract

Provided are a display panel and a display device comprising the same. The display panel includes a substrate including a planar portion, a first edge portion extending from one side of the planar portion, a second edge portion extending from the other side of the planar portion, a first side surface portion extending from one side of the first edge portion, and a first corner portion disposed between the first edge portion and the second edge portion; first data lines disposed in a display area of the planar portion; second data lines disposed in a display area of the first side surface portion; first fan-out lines disposed in a non-display area of the planar portion and connected to the first data lines; second fan-out lines disposed in the first corner portion and connected to the second data lines; and an encapsulation film covering the first data lines, the second data lines, and the first fan-out lines.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A display panel comprising:
 a substrate including a planar portion, a first edge portion extending from one side of the planar portion, a second edge portion extending from an other side of the planar portion, a first side surface portion extending from one side of the first edge portion, and a first corner portion disposed between the first edge portion and the second edge portion; 
 first data lines disposed in a display area of the planar portion; 
 second data lines disposed in a display area of the first side surface portion; 
 first fan-out lines disposed in a non-display area of the planar portion and connected to the first data lines; 
 second fan-out lines disposed in the first corner portion and connected to the second data lines; 
 a first power line between the first fan-out lines and the second fan-out lines at the first corner portion, the first power line having a curved portion in the first corner portion; and 
 light emitting elements disposed at the first data lines and the second data lines in the display area of the planar portion and the display area of the first side surface portion, and respectively comprising a first electrode, a light emitting layer, and a second electrode; and 
 an encapsulation film covering the light emitting elements and comprising at least one inorganic film and at least one organic film, 
 wherein the at least one inorganic film and the at least one organic film cover the first data lines, the second data lines, and the first fan-out lines. 
 
     
     
       2. The display panel of  claim 1 , wherein the second fan-out lines are not covered by the at least one inorganic film. 
     
     
       3. The display panel of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one inorganic film and the at least one organic film do not cover the second fan-out lines. 
     
     
       4. The display panel of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one inorganic film and the at least one organic film cover the first power line. 
     
     
       5. The display panel of  claim 1 , wherein the second fan-out lines are disposed in a non-display area of the first side surface portion. 
     
     
       6. The display panel of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 scan lines disposed in the display area of the planar portion and crossing the first data lines; and 
 a scan driver disposed outside the second fan-out lines in the first corner portion and comprising stages connected to the scan lines. 
 
     
     
       7. The display panel of  claim 6 , wherein the stages are not covered by the at least one inorganic film. 
     
     
       8. The display panel of  claim 6 , further comprising an organic film pattern disposed between adjacent stages of the stages. 
     
     
       9. The display panel of  claim 8 , further comprising scan control lines connected to the stages and crossing the organic film pattern. 
     
     
       10. The display panel of  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the scan control lines is disposed on a different layer from the first data lines and the second data lines. 
     
     
       11. The display panel of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first fan-out lines and at least one of the second fan-out lines are disposed on a same layer as the first data lines and the second data lines. 
     
     
       12. The display panel of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first fan-out lines and at least one of the second fan-out lines are disposed on a different layer from other layers of the first data lines and the second data lines.
